Air quality

Air quality affects our health, environment, and quality of life therefore monitoring and working to improve air quality can have significant social, environmental, and economic benefits for everyone.

School Streets

Over 50% of schools in Wandsworth now have a School Street scheme in place.

School Streets are designed to reduce the number of vehicles around the school.

We believe that School Streets will:

• Reduce congestion and vehicles travelling through the School Street
• Reduce pollution around the school entrance with fewer engines idling
• Encourage more walking, cycling and active journeys from pupils and parents/carers
• Result in less inconsiderate parking and dangerous manoeuvres
• Create a calmer, safer and cleaner environment

If your school is interested in a School Street, we would love to hear from you. Please contact schoolstreets@wandsworth.gov.uk.
